DOI: 10.1007/s12565-018-0438-x
Abstract: During an organism’s evolution, functional adaptations help species to become better suited to their ecological niches. From the morphological aspect, these adaptations are reflected in the anatomical specializations of different organs. Specializations of the lingual… read more here.
